Denmark re nounces all right to the Duchies in favour of Austria and Prussia, and recognises the right of those Powers to dispose of them further. This is a sin• gular condition, when it has been so often loudly proclaimed that the sole object of the war was to enfranchise the Duchies, and to connect " Schleswig Holstein, sea surrounded," into an independent State. " A compensation," conveniently vague de• finition, will be paid to Denmark for those forced levies on the peaceful inhabitants of Jutland, which awoke the indignation of civilised Europe, while the Duchies are to reimburse the allies their war expenses. We apprehend that the one account will be much more quickly squared than the other. The vessels and cargoes " captured on either side" are to be restored or the owners indemnified. A most equitable arrangement seeing how the case actually stands. When Prussia comes to have a navy, and possesses the power to damage an enemy's shipping, she will not be quite so ready to make conditions concerning the surrender or indemnifi• cation of prizes captured "on either side." Bat it is useless to weigh too closely the terms of the final settlement. What better could be hoped for when might was all on one side, and when it had been abundantly proved that neither the justice of the case, the courage of the sufferer, the greed of the aggressor, nor the close alliance of the Danish royal family with our throne, could serve to call forth from the British Cabinet anything but an uncertain sound. Denmark, indeed, was at first misled. She relied too credulously upon those offers of help, those promises of support which were not alone whispered in the privacy of diplomatic confidence, but openly enunciated within the walls of the British Parliament. Perhaps, too, she reckoned a little too confidently on that near alliance so recently contracted with the English Sovereign, and on the interest which might naturally be supposed to be felt for the father of the young and popular Princess. She may have thought that as a kindred people, kindred in race, in character, in patriotism, English hearts would have been quickly stirred at the story of the gallant little kingdom struggling for its rights. Ia any case she has been painfully undeceived. The sympathy if felt has been profitless, the assis ance worse than useless. Had she not been misled by assurances of English aid, Denmark would scarcely have confronted the allied armies of Ansa tria and Prussia, wasting her blood and her trea sure when the end was inevitable. LEONIDAS him self, though a moral victor, was forced to succumb t 3 numbers, and though many a happier story from Marathon to Morgarten has proved that right is sometimes victorious against dedly odds, yet Den mark would never have been likely to have added to the list. Meanwhile the Danish Chambers are met in mournful conclave to discuss this humiliat ing treaty, and the best that can be said of it in the Royal speech is a hope that the Rigsraad will resign itself to the national misfortunes. What more can be said ? Any attempt to deny or to palliate the evil would be insulting the feeling of the country, and King CHRISTIAN knows better than needlessly to divert to himself any part of that just and natural indignation now so warmly felt by the injured Dines egainst their enemies—and heir friends ! rHE SUN'fIuONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1864. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) F RANGE. PARIS, Nov. 8. M. Bondet, Minister of the Interior, has been nominated Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. The Constitutionnel of this morning publishes an article, signed by M, Limayrac, comparing the daspatches of M. Drouyn de Lhnys and Cavalier di Nigra. The writer chews that a complete under.. standing has been established between the French and Italian Government relative to the sense and bearing of the Convention. CANADA. QUEBEC, OCT. 24. On Saturday the knotty question of finance occupied the attention of the Conference. The subject is a very difficult one, as the apportion• ment of debt and revenue, and the adjustment of taxation for all the provinces, form its leading features. The Conference is expected to terminate its sittings during the week. Thirteen of the St Alban's raiders have been lodged in the gaol at St Jahn's. They are under the care of the sheriff. Today the investigation takes place. Leading counsel have been retained for the prosecution by the Federal authorities, and the Hon. S. J. Abbott and I. Hyllard Came• ron, by the Confederate agents in Canada, for the defence. Mr Johnson, Q.C., has received instructions from the Attorney-General to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Crown. A troop of Volunteer cavalry has boen placed in charge of the gaol, so, owing to the sympathy manifested for the prisoners, an attempt at a rescue was deemed probable. :,Captain Young, of the Confederate States army, the ringleader of the raid, has just published a letter in the Montreal newspapers. He confesses that he proposed to burn the town of St. Albans, together with the adjoining villages, in retaliation for the outrages perpetrated by the Federals in the Shenandoah Valley. lie likewise complains that bands of American citizens came beyond the lines and attempted to kill himself and his party, after they were in the hands of the Canadian authorities. lie winds up by remarking that the Americans and not his party are the violators of neutrality and of international law. This event has caused considerable excitement throughout the province. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 8. The Hamburg and American Company's steam• ship Borussia, having been refitted with a new fan resumed her voyege for New York this morning, The Bavaria, having finished repairs, sails for Hamburg to-morrow. No news has been received yet of the overdue steamer Sasonia from New York on the 15th ult. The North German Lloyd's steamer Bremen sails tomorrow for N e w York direct, with up wards of 400 passengers.

Our surprise does not end with the grandile Tient assertion that so many await the approaching presidential struggle with impatience, but Mr BRIGHT further condescends to say why they do ? We hear accordingly that it is because they observe in Mr LINCOLN " a grand simplicity of purpose" and also "patriotism which knows no change." Can anything possibly be more ridiculous than this, and would any man believe that a man of experience would write such an ex travagant tissue of absurdities ? -Where has been the "grand simplicity" of President LINCOLN'S conduct ? may well be asked by the astounded hearers of Mr Blum-ifs phraeelogy. It is what the Manchester men call simple to proclaim such a course, and pursue such a game as have been the objects sought for with might and main by the man who for years has ruled the great Republic of the West. Who can forget that during this struggle those on the Federal side have shown no respect for what should be held in reverence by barbarous nations, and restrain the passions of savage tribes ! Not alone has their sword made women childless, but on no occasion whatever have their troops been withheld from acts of lawless violence, and all the arts and contrivances which can gain their imme diate ends have been eagerly resorted to, setting at nought the scruples of honour, the claims of justice, and the influence of mercy. It is to a man who has virtually encouraged, stimulated, and approved of these doings that Mr. BRIGHT offers the tribute of America's applause, and ins yokes the aid of America's support. If such are to be our heroes and demigods, the race has indeed • deteriorated, ;and our glory has departed, no more to rise. What is the use of Mr. BRIGHT'S coming forward, puffing up in such an extravagant fashion those of whom he makes idols, but whom we believe to be of a very indifferent quality. It will not avail to convince any one, and it only shows into what mistakes clever men may fall when they get too much of an idea in their heads. Those who admire the abilities of the hon. member will really regret to see him throw away his energies in so mad an attempt as this effort to cry peace where there is no peace, and as it were to lay down the law as he wishes it to be, not such as others may wish it to be. It is to be lamented that an English citizen should identify himself with a set who are at variance with the fundamental principles of our Constitution, and whose lives are a contradiction in terms to the rule of doing unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Royal English Opera. Tile last act in the tragedy is nearly played out, and Earl RUSSELL may enliven his autumnal re tirement by a careful study of the terms of peace which are the best that his mingled threats and blandishments can secure for his allies. The official text of the treaty of peace between the allied Ger man Powers and their victim, has just been pub. lished, and it must be as consolatory to Denmark as it is gratifying to Englishmen. It consists of 24 articles, and the little kingdom enght perhaps to rejoice that it dm not reach to 48, and that its terms are not if possible more stringent. Lord PALMEP.STON, indeed, once went so far as to say that if Copenhagen were bombarded, and King PEIRISTIAN taken prisoner, Queen VICTORIA'S ad visers would begin *a think of action ; but judging from antecedents, the terrible invaders whom we poor-islanders hold in such wholesome awe, would not have been very foolhardy had they put this heroic declaration to a practical test. If England did not wake until the victim were on the scaffold, there would be more than time for the executioner's coup de grace while she was buckling on her armour and unsheathing her sword. But, all things con sidered, Austria and Prussia have thought it more prudent not to push matters to extremities, and the redoubtable Treaty of Peace now before us remains to record the achievements of diplomacy in the 19a2 century. It was no doubt liberal on the part of the nvinkey is the fable to be kind enough to surrender the shells to the disputants, bince, having the oyster in his possession, be might have appropriated them without hindrance as well as the bonnebouche. Acting on the same magnanimous principle,,the The assurance of some people is really amazing ; nothing seems to teach them moderation or to curb the vehemence of their opinions. Thus Mr.BRIGUT, instead of hiding his diminished head, as well he might when the affairs of America are discussed, puts himself forward in his usual arrogant style and proceeds to give advice to those who can do very well without it. At the same time he thinks he is striking with a two•edged sword, and while he gives one word to America he intends two for England. Doubtless he thinks that it is a very clever move, and that by these means he can give vent to his long pentaup wrath at the manner in which many among, us have expressed ourselves during this great struggle for supremacy in the United States. The remarks of the New York Tribune are almost amusing in their intensity of excitement. Evidently the most must be made of such an important affair as Mr BRIGHT'S letter. It is styled, in the first place " timely and impressive, It is very evident that the whole thing has been got up for party purposes, and that the most is sought to be made out of it ; but such an ingenious attempt will not go very far among those who are capable of understanding the tactics to their full extent, and of appreciating the maneeavre. What reason can there be for Mr, BRIGHT coming forward at this especial juncture and laying down the law as to the advisability of LINCOLN'S re-election. Above all, it consorts ill with the precepts of one who is all for freedom of thought and action, that he should lay an interdict upon the expression of opinion upon the part of those who are in favour of M'CLELLAN. In this narrow-minded judgment we see fully displayed the arbitrary regulations and prejudiced views which distinguish the disciples of the Manchester School par excellence. What bitter scorn and withering sarcasm may we not suppose to be hidden under those significant words :—" All those of my countrymen who have wished well to the rebellion, who have hoped for the breakup of your Union, who have preferred to see a Southern slave empire rather than a restored free republic, so far as I mu ob serve, are now in favour of the election of General M'CLELLAN." In this sentence we may find many interpolations; first of all we are told that it is a " rebellion" with which the North have to cope, and such an assurance from one who should, above dl, admire independence is very peculiar. Next, those who are so unhappy as to differ from Mr BRIGHT are told in very plain language of the want of common sense and good taste which they display in so doing. Also they are shown to what a fearful extent their wishes are carrying them, even so far , as to desire the establishment of a " Slave empire.' Of all the devices of cunning nothing surpasses this pretext of the object of the war being virtually the question of "slavery.' It certainly goes far to show that the advocates of the Federal cause have not a very good case of their own that they in. variably resort to this dodge, and take refuge be hind this fair seeming show of strength and sub. stance. But Mr. BRIGHT stands forward to teach the inhabitants of both hemispheres their duty. Re emphatically declares what the good men and true of the Old World desire to see done in the New one. The chief object of their wishes and subject of their prayers it is incumbent upon us to know then is the reelection of Mr. LINCOLN. Ignorant must be those who look upon this event as a party struggle, and a political movement ; its issues are not confined to such trivial and transient ends ; the cause of humanity, the interests of Civi lizetion, the benefits of pence, a n d the bless ings of freedom are all bound up in it. It is impossible to over estimate the importance The first original production of the Royal English Opera Company (Limited)—"Helvellyn"—has been received by the public with the greatest satisfaction; and we record the fact with unmixed pleasure, because Mr G. A Macfarren is ono of our greatest masters of operatic composition. We could however have wished that a more entertaining and dramatic story had been made the medium for-such thorough English music, because through the opera a number or the moat elegant and tasteful compositions are scattered, which certainly would have long liv©d in the memory had the words been worth the trouble of re- membering. The plot of " Helvellyn" is almost in. explicable, and without a book of the words or a brief acquaintance with the incident we fear many will make but little of the opera, dramatically speaking ; there fore, we give the following brief outline of " Helvelljn," that is as far as we were enabled to understand it :—The action takes place in a farm at the foot of Helvellyn, be longing to Mabel, a rich widow. The festivities of harvest home are interrupted by the entrance of Hannah, an orphan, who, seeking charity, is at once admitted into the service of Mabel. A second mendicant then arrrives in the person of Luke. the vagabond brother of the widow's late husband, who, on the score of his relationship, lays claim to halt her estate, Mabel admits him as a guest, but instantly starts for London to obtain the proofs of her sole rights:to the farm, leaving as her representative Martin, a young steward, with whom she is secretely in love. Luke amuses himself in Mabel's absence by taking undue famili arities with Hannah, but is repulsed by the girl, and re venges himself by instigating Steenie, an old servant, to denounce her as a thief. Martin, who has conceived a pas sion for Hannah, takes her part; but the consequent strife is suddenly quelled by the return of Mabel, who, now in possession of legal right to her estates, names the young stewart as her future husband, and thus gives him authority to eject her vagrant brother. But Martin is still enamoured of Hannah, who, however, forbears to lis en to his protestations, assigning as a reason that her father set fire to a foundry many years before, and that the curses of the thousands who were thus made dest tuts still rest upon her head. Tho denouncement may be easily guessed. The real incendiary is of course no other than Luke, who, on being recognised by Hannah, endeavours to escape, and, clinging to a tree which is suddenly struck by a convenient thunderbolt, is precipi.. fated into the abyss ever which it hangs. Thus the curse falls upon the guilty head, and nothing remains but for the good-hearted Mable to bless the union of the lovers. The part of Mabel is confided to Madame Perepa, Hannah to Madame Sherrington, Martin to Mr Henry Haigh, Luke to Mr Alberto Lawrence, and Steonie to Mr H. Corrie ; and without entering into detail, we shall content ourselves with noting down those portions of the opera which seemed to tell most with the audience. In the first act, after a very good descriptive song, " The sky with crimson is o'er spread," by Mr H. Cerrie, Mr Haigh sang " A blessing on the harvest falls," which undoubtedly is one of the finest harvest songs ever composed. It just suited the compass of his voice, and called forth an immense encore. The harvest song is followed by a fine quartet for Mabel, Martin, Hannah, and Steenie—" What spell, what magic holds me last." In the second act Mr Alberto Lawrence has a very fine, rollicking, reckless sort of song, "Here's a fig for troubles past," which he sung with great effect, but the song of the tenor, "Take this flower," wasunfortunately very much marred, in the second verse, by the attempt of Mr. Haigh to introduce a cadenza, the highest note being much beyond the natural compass of his voice. It is the besetting sin with most tenors that they will insist in attempting things far beyond their range ; in but very rare cues the attempt invariably results in a noise which certainly cannot be called music. There is a pretty kind of ballad for Mr. Haigh, "Oh, Hannah, Hannah," but the composer seems to have been thinking of Hatton's " Good bye Sweetheart," when he composed this particular song. The gem of the opera is a ballad by Madame Sherrington, " I've noted how he oft would try," and she sang it with the utmost taste, expression, and effect. The scenery, dresses, and decorations are beautiful, and the " company" deserve the highest praise for the manner in which the opera has been put upon the stage. Adelphi Theatre. The " Colleen Bawn," which so long filled the bills and the house at this theatre, has been resuscitated to afford Mr John Collins the opportunity of showing to an English audience his version of the hero, Myles-na-Coppaleen. He has an advantage over all his predecessors in his fine voice, and his capital mode of singing several pure Irish airs greatly adds to the effect of the character. In other re spects the characters remain mostly in the original hands. Miss Henrietta Sims, however, played Eily O'Connor, and in a very charming manner; and Mr It. Phillips Danny Mann, to which he gave all the requisite character. On Monday next Mr. Webster re appears, and striking novel ties are announo 'd. Strand Theatre. A new and very promising candidate for the honours of the London stage appeared last evening at this theatre in the exceedingly attractive person of Miss Milly Palmer, of the Thoatre - Royal, Liverpool, who made a brilliant debut as Pauline, in Mr. Planch3's pleasant comedietta of "Delicate Ground." She acts not only with spirit and intelligence, but with grace and sensibility, and she is perfectly familiar with stage business. It is scarcely necessary to add that she well deserved the applause with which she was abun dantly greeted, and that she cannot fail to become a very valuable acquisition to the popular company of comedians at the Strand Theatre.

His Recollections extend, therefore, over an interval of from fifty to sixty years in its dura. tion. During which very momentous span of time the world has passed through more astounding changes and even it might be said complete transformations no less socially and in some sense morally also, than politically and scientifically, than can be found to have been anywhere else recorded within the like compass of a half century in the whole wide range cf the annals of modern civilisation. In assorting which, we are indulging in no exaggeration of phrase whatever. Between the world as it was, when our author first recalls it to his remembrance —just a little more than ono half century ago—and the world as it is now, under his more than ever keen and animated observation, the difference dis cernible even at a superficial glance, is nothing less than one ebsolutely astounding of its kind. And, in testimony of its being so, it is only necessary to re gard the contrast between the Now and the Then from two points of view—one point of view bringing that truly astonishing contrast socially, the other scientifically, under the merest momentary conside ration. For example—it is within this first half of the nineteenth century (the identical epoch of which Mr. Berkeley's book treats auto• biographically) it is within these fifty or sixty years last past that we have learnt (as matters of mere everyday occurrence) to accustom ourselves to the marvels—of traversing the ocean in defiance of wind and tide—of whirling from city to city, all over Europe, at the rate of nearly a mile a minute, at the tail of a fiery dragon, quite as wonderful in its way as those about which our grandfathers, when they were little boys, used to read in the dear old Fairy Tales still happily familiar to the nursery— of flashing our messages, to and fro, with inconceivable rapidity, under the sea, over the land, at the thrill of an acid, on the wings of the lightning—of having our portraits taken (true to a hair) within the space of a few seconds, by the pencil of a sunbeam—nay, even for that matter, of subjecting the very atmo• sphere of the fixed stars, and of those remoter regions in space marked by the dim nebu'se, to the wonder-working test of spectrum analysis under the lens of the microscope I Socially, hardly less than scientifically, moreover, the change that has here taken place within the personal recollection of our author is, in very deed and truth, something quite marvellous. Insomuch, that it would hardly be any extravagance whatever to assert that many a man who passed muster as a Gentleman when the Hon. Grantley Berkeley was a little child, would, if he could, to-day but be recalled to life, just precisely as he was Then, assume his right place Now in the social system as a most unquestionable Blackguard. A Prince of the Blood, it need only here be said, by way of illustration, could actually in those far looser, coarser, more degenerate times, attain the reputation, could even, as the world remembers now with nom, secure to himself the distinctive designation of the First Gentleman in Europe— although drinking like a tapster, boxing like a rough, and swearing like a costermonger. It is something surely worthy of note, in regard to the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, that passing, as he did, as a boy, as an observant and adventurous stripling —through the very thick and tumult of that swill. ing, gambling, bruising, blaspheming raff of Corinthians, his nature remained untainted. That it has done so, this only too outspoken and ingenuous work of his, affords signal and to our mind conclusive attestation. It is impossible to glance through its revelations, no matter whether cursorily or scrutinisingly, without recognising, in the man who penned it, one whose temperament has many large and instantly appreciable claims upon our sympathy. Granted that he shows him self to us here as, in his idocyncrasy, a mass of contradictions. Yet, throughout them all, he wins our sympathy, not partially but cordially and almost unreservedly. lie writes, as perhaps no man before him ever did write—about his mether. He discourses about his brothers as unhesitatingly as though he were holding a brief against them in a criminal prosecution. He relates to us most amusingly old Lady Cler mont's peccadilloes in the " lacing" (pretty stiffly too) of her tea with brandy—and does this with all the gusto and a great deal more than the ave rage vivacity of a genuine tea-table scandal-monger. He puts an end at last for once and for all to every one of our long cherished hopes as to L. E. L. not having fallen—and he does this by blurting out with frightful distinctness her own acknowledgment to him of her having been seduced, while she was yet a mere slip of a school girl, and seduced, too, by no other than Dr. Maginn. Of that same learned, dirty, gifted creature, our author talks elsewhere most unhesitatingly—revealing the redoubtable Doctor in a light as odious as perhaps any man of-letters was ever revealed in, namely, as offering to huckster his praise as a critic for so much m Iney told oat to him in cur rent coin of the realm—money that Dr. Magian is here related as having asked for at the hands of the Author of " Berkeley Castle"—an Author whose hand he had already learnt full well could wield not only a gray goosequill, but, still more effectively upon occasion, a tolerably sinewy and elastic horsewhip. Yet—it is the writer of these astoundingly candid recollections, it is the relater of all these chequered incidents in a life the trail of which he has himself pretty plainly traced back through scenes as varied as the coulisses and the huating•field, the haunts of the demimonde and the regions peopled by the cretne de la crime, the Ring and the Drawing-room, the margin of the trout-stream and the sofas of the boudoir, the Barrack and the House of Com mons, the Palace and the Shanty, the solid tudes of the Prairie and the ()rush at Almacks —it is the author of these most interesting Recollections, of all these most startling Revela tions about people dead and gone, and about others even 'who are still living—it is of him that we would here speak as of one with wienm, in many respects, we do most heartily sympathise, as one whom it is impossible to help admiring, in defiance of all his foibles and inconsistencies. Naturally, he is a man endowed with a most tenderly affec tionate disposition. His devotion to his House and Home—to the ancient race of the Berke• leys—to the yet vivid souvenirs of his childhood, to his mother (iu spite of all he writes about her), to his brothers (one and all of them at first), to his brother Moreton - especially—is a devotion, of its kind, in its way, eminently beautiful. His very fopperies one recognises as merely superficial. Un derlying them all there is at the very core and heart of his nature an inerradicable manliness. A dandy in appearaece, he is not the least atom a dandy in reality--that is, in his personal bearing and deport ment, in his conversation, in his habits and prefer ences. He is so far from being effeminate in his likings and in his surroundings, that with all his air of fribble and flaneur during the height of the season, he is, in season and out of season, a Mighty Hunter in his varied way—at home alike in the stubble afoot or in the saddle, casting a fly over the rimpled surface of the trout-stream, stalking the deer on the heathered hill-side, flying a rasper in the track of the fox-hounds, or bringing down with his steady hand, his keen eye, and his unerring aim, the wild buffalo of the Far West. As a Sportsman he can hold his "own to this day as among the first and topmost. As a :o enjoy, a recognisable —not the highest, but still a , distinct and recognisable —reputation. And jostled as he was, particularly in his younger days, among a bewildering concourse of high-born and lowborn men of the world, patricians and par• venus, peers and prize-fighters, he has passed (as in truth this very Book of his, containing within it his autobiographic recollections, serves to de. monstrate) he has passed through it all, so far scathe less, so far untainted by the influence of many evil surroundings, that his nature is still, to this hour, marked signally, progeminently among all his characteristics by its ingenuous. nese. As a Book of Fsshiouable, Sporting, Lite. rary, and Political, Recollections, the work is sin gularly delightful and entertaining . It is as full as anecdote as a plum pudding is full of all sorts of good things in the way of fruit and spice and appea tizing condiments. There is hardly a single dull page in the whole of those two big volumes. The Hon. Grantley and his contemporaries pass before us, in one pleasant chapter after another, as in a moving panorama, their manners, and customs, and costumes, for that matter, changing marvellously, as the time here described is brought down in the flow of the narrative, nearer and nearer to our own epoch. We set out,with our autobiographer from that stand-point of his recollections, from which he first of all gazes " up" the vista of his career from a certain day in 1806, whcre;he remembers to have:stood, when a little boy of six, by the side of his old nurse, by a meadow gate down in Gloucestershire. From that first stand-point he starts upon the record of his social pilgrimage—introducing us, by the way, as he advances from 1806 to this present year of grace, 1864, to all sorts and conditions of men and women with whom he has been brought, daring his Life's Pilgrimage, more or less intimately into communication. These Berkeleys, we never knew so much about—(thongb, for that matter, we did happen to know a good deal about them previously)—until now—and this, thanks to these vivid recollections of them, to these nothing less than audacious revelations. And—thanks also to the very Book under notice—one of those Berkeleys we have thereby come to like better than ever in spite of all his faults and foibles—meaning no other than Grantley Berkeley himself, the candid Ego of this Retrospect. We know now more than ever about him—by reason of this Book—it has told us nearly all his antecedents so far as they yet survive in„ . his own remembrance, And hence ho has enabled as to appreciate him, as we never by possibility could have appreciated him previously, without some such frank and unhesitating self-revelation. As an autobiographer, he has a rare gift in telling a good anecdote trippingly off the tongue, without any of the tediousness of circumlocution. Ex gr. this whimsical commemoration by him of a maiden speech :—" The late Mr L. Charlton," he says, " tried to make a maiden speech, and riving in his place with a very bald head, known too as be was to everybody as one of the oldest stagers in all the ways of the world, he began with great affectation of inexperience, and with an exceedingly mild voice—' Mr Speaker, I am but a young member.' On hearing this assertion from so well known and crafty man, possessing so vener able a pate, the entire House roared with laughter. Twice he stopped, and three times ho commenced with these words ; but it was useless; the House would not listen, and he never to cry know ledge essayed to speak again, or if he did, the sight of his bald head set the:audience in a roar." Sometimes he indulges as with an old familiar comicality —as, for example, when ho says—" The next amusing thing I remember was at a dinner at the Thatched House in St. James's-street, given to his Roy al Highness the Duke of Gloucester, I think; but it was certainly to the R ayal Duke who had one of the regiments of the Guards. At the banquet, among the young officers who had lately joined, was Dick Armit ; when, on his being presented to his Royal Highness, the Duke re. marked, when he heard his name, ' Oh, I know— son of Armit and Co. ;' alludlng to the well-known firm. 'No, eir,' replied Dick ; 4 of Armit only,' " As a more highly elaborated illustration of our 1 author's skill as a narrator, we are tempted to give, in spite of its length, the subjoined very charming sketch of A SYLVAN INCIDENT. It was, then, on a most lovely afternoon, towards the cnd of July, when the bucks were getting into very good condition, that, with the John ➢lanton rifle in hand, I sauntered slowly from tho woodman's cottage in Tiolmsly enclosure, in a direction leading down to the brook at Osman's Ford, or Osmanly Ford, as it is sometimes called, near which now stands tho Holnasly station on the South ampton and Ringwood line of railway. I had taken time by the forelock, in order that I might watch any veerings in the summer air, and change my place to some other likely spot fur a buck if the wind suited not my first selected position ; but I gave the preference to the alder swamp on the brook that limited a little open lawn lying between it and the adjo!ning enclosure, because I had been long aware that there occasionally fed a very good deer. That he, with tho usual instinctive c sution of a fat buck, would not show himself till it was nearly dark, I very well knew; so I sauntered along down the swamp and the little murmuring brook, whose very small trout were rising and the minnowhood frisking about at play, to select some good ambush whence I could watch the lawn without being my. self observed. . . vv Wore the mania for draining had affected the wits of people in charge of the Crown lands, the little brook was essentially a forest-brook, meandering now here, now there, breaking into little rippling shallows over pebbly beds, or sleeping in deeper holes where grew the water-lily. Through beds of golden bog-myrtle it sometimes glided noiselessly along, and at others smoothly flowed by willows and alder trees. By the brink of a shallow, then, at last, I halted ; for on the other side of the stream there was a fine old alder stump, of very good breadth, high up from the marshy land on which it stood, from whose pollard top yet branched strong arms of luxurious vegetation. This alder stood the king of a host of others that, broke and bent, grew around it, their boughs entwined with the wild honeysuckle and rose, making in all a most sweet cover, over which the height of the larger tree gave me just room and space enough :o command the length and breadth of the lawn. Previous to climbing to this most eligible position, I drew from a little pocket a few light downy feathers from the breast of a duck I had wrapped in paper, and cast one of them into the hot, stagnant air, in order to ascertain the quarter of the wind. There was sc,rce enough to indicate the direction, but what little there was showed that it came from a south- westerly direction—the very quarter I desired. This grand point ascertained, I climbed up early to my syl- vas throne, in order that the scent of any steps might no affect the wary herd, and the rising dew assist to drown the dreaded prognostication of danger. Talk of the happiness of a king''—figurative method of speech as that is—no happiness on earth could surpass mine, and none that was shared in by more than two in the palaces, castles, and mansions of the world could come near it. I was the monarch of all I surveyed, from the straight hunting-horn stunk in my belt to call any man and the woodmen from the cottage if I killed a deer, to the rifle and the wild surrounding forest. The music in the air appeared to have been made expressly for my enjoyment. The goat-sucker purred his adulations,the yellow-hammer sounded his long, low, sweet evening song from a gorse bush, and the white-throat ohided and warbled from the tall, high reeds. It was too early yet for the expected busk to make his appearance,so I occasionally directed my eyes to the rising trout in the stream below me, or to the chubby head of a water rat which, beaver fashion, cut down green flags, and fed on the juicy end of them. It was getting late, the sun was below the westward trees, and the sky above showing the crimson blush of the descending planet, when, at some distance above me on the stream, my ear caught the cry of a startled blackbird. It was followed by no "twit—twit," denouncing the presence of some predatory anima, but was simply the cry of the bird when either a man or some large animal comes sud denly upon it, and makes it start from the ground to wing. It was quite enough to invite further attention, for either there was a human being there or thereabouts, to render my further vigil for a deer abortive—or there was some large animal other than a fox, otter, stoat, weasel, or cat, that had scared the blackbird; and it might be the very deer I was in quest of. For a time all remained still, when suddenly I thought my ear detected the slightest occasional splash of water. It certainly was not that of the graceful little goldfinch which I had previously seen making his evening ablution on the margin of a shallow close to me, and peering from aide to side in his crimson cap, as if self-satisfied with his appear ance in the watery mirror. The goldfinch and all little birds were gone to bed, the earliest bat was flitting about, and the splash of the water was not like that of a.wild duck, which perhaps it might be. No—it was not a wild duck, for, glancing my eye to the surface of the quick stream, I saw borne towards me on its bosom the blossoms of the wild rose, so there was something in the brook taller than a duck, probably the velveted antlers of the deer, which, shaken at the annoying flies, had brushed away the bloom that now passed beneath the tree whereon I was. In another moment there were steps in the water : that was quite eyideut, That it was a deer of some sort_ Itelt ro perfectly certain; and the next turn in the bre ek ' i do, the higher alders, roust place the buck or doe, sr-ad it was, within 30 yards of my rifle, now cocked, Übe on its light trigger, and the sight direc ted on tlivoi where perhaps the goodly back in one mom ent Mere stand confessed. I°, None but those as much attached to woodcraft Sao, will understand the thrill at my heart whic h oat° heard the close approaching steps in the water, ocoso' A stopping and again coming on, and then beheld the.' ing wave on the surface of the brook come circling t ° ; w o , the corner, wide of the moving thing that ca used it and then die away. It is in sight I—a white and beautiful hared l'"'wo picking water-weeds or flewers, and then a ie ve. ' l ,lo with fair, luxuriant hair ; and then, there, on the shallow stream, the water reaching not to h er knee a shaming girl, of about, or rather under si xteen I age.
